Report nuisance

Statutory nuisance

Check Gov.uk's information on statutory nuisance. If you feel you have a case, you should fill out a diary sheet describing how the problem affects you.

Artificial light

Noise nuisance

You can find out what noise problems are considered to be a nuisance on the Gov.uk website.

You will need to fill out diary sheets [49kb] to show a noise is having an unreasonable affect on your use or enjoyment of your home or other premises. You should be as specific as possible when completing the diary sheets. Submit completed sheets to environmental.protection@reading.gov.uk.

Statutory noise nuisance does not usually include one-off parties, road traffic or aircraft noise, or neighbours arguing - although it may be possible for you to take civil action.
